Summary:

Codes of ethics cannot tell us what to do, but they can help us make our own ideas clearer, more rational, and more responsive to the realities of life. Ethics can help people think clearly and critically about their values and whether these values need to be reevaluated. This four-volume set answers the needs that existing reference books on philosophy cannot answer. For people who have no background in ethics, and for professionals who are looking for fundamental information about fairly specific topics, the Encyclopedia provides general information cross-referenced to specific discussions. With the application of ethics playing an increasing role in our national and international professional, political, and personal debates, the Encyclopedia offers breadth, completeness, and organized ideas within narrowly defined studies that are often isolated within a specific industry or intellectual field. 012227065701118Codes of ethics cannot tell us what to do, but they can help us make our own ideas clearer, more rational, and more responsive to the realities of life.
